[quote:Anonymous Coward 1379204:MV8xNDkzMTYxXzI0NjAzNTcyX0M0MDBFQzZG] Chavez stood up for and personally acted on alot of the things you so called Patriots claim that you yourselves stand for. So who should I root for? The guy on the internet from the comfort of his own chair on his fat ass getting grumpy because Chavez may be honored by the military for a life led in activism for the sake of bettering the conditions of working class Americans... Or Chavez, the guy who actually *did* stuff with his life instead of sit around the internet in his boxers yelling at the "injustice" of the world. TOUGH CHOICE [/quote]

Navy considers naming ship after Cesar Chavez
The Associated Press

SAN DIEGO — The Navy is considering naming a cargo ship that’s being built after farmworker activist Cesar Chavez....
Chavez would be the first Mexican American in that group. He is credited with helping to secure a U.S. law that recognized farmworkers' rights to organize unions and engage in collective bargaining. Chavez died in 1993 at the age of 66.
